Chapter 476 The Key in the Bell
When Shen Yao chopped the floor with the axe for the first time, the floor did not react at all, but only a scratch was left on the surface.
He frowned and looked at the mark. The quality of this floor couldn't be so good.
Unless something has changed...
He frowned and turned to look at Luo Zhenxian, only to see that Luo Zhenxian had fallen to the ground at some point.
After thinking about it, he put the axe down.
Perhaps no matter how hard they work outside, it is all in vain, and they still have to rely on themselves to come up from the bottom.
He helped Luo Zhenxian up from the ground, put him back on the chair, and let him lie on the table.
Then, I sat next to him, always on the alert for any special circumstances.
As for the few people below, even the legs of the table were almost taken apart, but they still couldn't find anything useful.
Finally, Gu Chaoxi's eyes fell on the dog in the corner, which had a bell around its neck.
"Perhaps the key to get out is with the dog?"
As she finished her words, the dog in the corner seemed to be suddenly awakened.
It opened its eyes, and they were red.
"Woo woo woo woo..."
It was a very low roar, like some kind of warning.
Qin Wei looked at the dog and rubbed his arm: "How could there be a real dog in a haunted house?"
It's the plane that's causing trouble again. It's clearly just a prop, but it's turned into something that can really attack people.
No one spoke, Qi Chuzhao just walked towards that direction.
As he got closer, the dog's voice began to grow louder.
As he got closer, Qi Chuzhao could see more clearly that the cage containing the dog was not locked.
It slides open to the side, and just slide the left side to the right to let the dog out.
He squatted down, raised his hand to take off his vest, and slowly wrapped it around his left hand.
Then he swallowed, raised his eyes, stretched out his right hand and slowly slid the cage door to the right.
Just as the dog was about to rush out, his left hand hit the dog's head quickly, accurately and fiercely.
"Woo woof..."
There was a faint sound, and the dog fell into the cage and fainted.
Su Zhaoran raised his hand to cover his mouth, blinked, and silently gave a thumbs up to Qi Chuzhao's back.
This is what a man should be like. Luo Zhenxian is not behaving like that at all.
Qi Chuzhao reached out and pulled the bell off the dog's neck, then closed the door of the cage.
He stood up and shook the collar with the bell on it.
There was a bell, but it wasn't the kind they usually heard.
Only then did Pei Yan step forward and raise the kerosene lamp in his hand a little higher.
Qi Chuzhao lowered his eyes and took a look. The bell seemed to be different from ordinary ones. It was buckled together at both ends, with a hole left at the bottom.
Qi Chuzhao simply broke the two sides of the bell apart.
With a "click", the two sides of the bell were broken apart, and a silver-white object fell down.
The thing jumped twice on the ground and then stopped at Shen Lan's feet.
She took a step back, and when she saw Gu Chaoxi bending down, she immediately stopped bending and took another small step back.
Gu Chaoxi picked it up and saw that it was a key.
It is a round key with a rectangular section at the end.
The key is quite retro, a small one, only about the length of a thumb.
She looked at it, then looked towards the entrance.
Pei Yan said softly: "Let's go and take a look."
So they carried kerosene lamps and walked back the way they came.
As the stairs go higher, the top seems very low, after all, the floor is flat, but the stairs go up.
Several people were groping on the wall, trying to find where they could insert the key.
Until Su Zhaoran lifted a small piece of wall, revealing a small round hole.
She immediately turned her head and looked in the direction of Gu Zhaoxi: "Here!"
Gu Chaoxi turned his head and looked sideways, his eyes flickering slightly.
She moved closer with the key, inserted it, and turned it to the left.
There was a low shaking sound, and then the floor that was originally covered slowly opened, pouring in a ray of light.
Only then were the crowd able to come out from underneath.
When Shen Yao heard the sound, he had already come over here.
At this time, I stood aside and watched them walk up from downstairs. I was relieved to see that none of them were in trouble.
Then he weighed the axe next to him.
"I tried it just now, but the floor turned out to be solid."
As he spoke, Qin Wei looked at the open floor, and sure enough, there was a deep scratch on it that almost penetrated through.
Pursing her lips, Qin Wei just walked over to Shen Yao's side, then raised her hand and patted him gently on the shoulder.
Gu Chaoxi brushed the dust off his clothes, walked towards his seat, and then sat down.
She had just used the key to open the door and had pulled it out, and was now turning it in her hand.
"Now we just have to figure out where the man is going. This key must be the key to passing the level."
Hearing this, Su Zhaoran looked around and said, "But didn't we look in the woods?"
There was no one in sight.
Gu Zhaoxi nodded: "In this theme, there is no setting for this person to be found by us. We just need to infer where he is."
Pei Yan smiled silently and tapped the table twice with his fingers.
"It's actually pretty easy to guess. During the day, the man was in the woods, and at night, he was in the house again."
The fireplace may also be burning during the day if the weather requires it.
But there is no need to light kerosene lamps during the day, so now it is night.
The man was in the house at night, so he easily knew that there was a stranger in the house.
But the man began to lose track of who he was. He only remembered that no one should get close to him.
So, he threw rocks at the windows from outside the house, trying to drive the people away.
"Then where should we use the key to pass the level?"
Su Zhaoran asked again.
This time, before Gu Chaoxi could answer, Qin Wei had already walked towards the fireplace.
"Of course it's here. The answer to getting out has been here from the beginning."
She raised her hand and pointed at the carvings on the fireplace. There was a small round hole in the middle of the carvings.
Gu Chaoxi smiled and walked briskly over there. Then she raised her hand and inserted the key.
As the key turned, the darkness outside the house turned into day in an instant, and they could see the layers of trees outside.
Luo Zhenxian was also awakened by Qi Chuzhao at this time.
They went out together again and went back the way they came.
When they passed some trees along the way, they realized that there were other small traps, but they happened to avoid them.
